On November 11th, 2011, all in one day, take all of your money out of your corporate big bank accounts and put them in small mom & pop banks or credit unions.

If you have investments in stocks, make sure it is a 99% friendly Corporation. (No history of corruption, good enviromental record, etc.). Might want to put together a page on this one.

I have 2 accounts, one at Chase, which will be closed on 11.11.11.

(It's a Friday)

If we let the media know, then everyone will know, and the banks will FREAK OUT!!!.hahahaha

I've had people tell me that banks only operate on a 15% cash reserve. If we can get enough people to pull their accounts we can have a legitimate 'run on the banks' like Black Monday. Even if you just have $102.52 in the bank to pull out, do it. If I do it, then another and another, and before the day is over 50,000,000 people close their accounts it will be huge. the banks will beg us to reconsider and will laugh & laugh.

I had heard about the November 5th thing. November 5th is a Saturday. Most banks are only open for about 4 hours on Saturdays. I think that Friday would be much better. The date is iconic and easy to remember. But, we need to get the word out.
